Topic: Networking suddenly stopped (Read 374 times)

I have been running peppermint for a few years now with almost no issues on an old Asus Netbook. It seems that due to some upgrades, the networking (wired and wi-fi) is working no more. I have also noted that since jumping from version 7, firefox or chromium are extremely slow to load and keeps working slow no matter what. It gets worse if trying to watch any youtube videos. I barely use this netbook but need to get it working for a project so I will appreciate any help you can provide me with.Network hardware for wired is Qualcomm Atheros AR8132 Fast Ethernet with driver :atl1cWi-Fi has a Atheros AR9285 wireless network adapter with driver: ath9k

Router is working fine, have 2 laptops and 3 phones upstairs connected to the same router. Reset router again but no change at all. Keeps saying that there's no internet when trying to open any website.

Good ol' girl. I literally had to dust her off. Then, plugged in the battery, a P9R 32bit ISO thumb drive, hit the 'on' button, danced on the 'Esc' button, and she sprang to file - WiFi and all. Hadn't even plugged the charger in yet - wanted to see if would happen without it

Don't know if this will help, but here's the dialog I'm getting on my WORKING EeePC 1000HD:
